Petrol Head

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Lay down, and rest your headStretch your body across my bedJust close your eyes, I'll take you thereThat open highway's waiting whereYou'll know me just like I know youWhere every gospel word is trueI'll drive this car, I'll be your guideJust fasten your seat beltLet's go for a rideI'll take you someplaceThat you've never been beforeA place you might haveOnly dreamt about what's moreJust one road in and just one road outI know this country inside outI speak in tongues, in tongues of fireWith sixteen wheels for my desire300 Horse in my v8Close to one hundred mphAnd all the meters up in the redNow don't you worryYour pretty little petrol headI'll take you someplaceThat you've never been beforeA place you might haveOnly dreamt about what's moreLike moses driving to his promised landLeft turn at the burning bushA stick shift in my handBring me my bow of burning goldBring me my arrows of desireBring me my spear: o clouds unfold!Bring me my chariot of fire!I fought my way from hell to thisAnd drove my truck through a hail of fistsBut I ain't never killed no innocent manKept the engine running so I just ranBut I've been wounded, I been shotAnd this is all the thanks I gotA busted arm and a busted lipLet's climb aboard the mothershipI'll take you someplaceThat you've never been beforeA place you might haveOnly dreamt about what's moreLike moses driving to his promised landLeft turn at the burning bushA stick shift, two stone tabletsGod's commandments in my hands300 Horse in my v8Close to one hundred mphAnd all the meters up in the redNow don't you worryYour pretty little petrol head
